First described in 2015. From the paper describing the species, "Dendrochilum hampelii is morphologically most similar to Dendrochilum propinquum, but it differs in a number of characteristics. Of the two cultivated individuals available for our study, one was of unrecorded provenance. The other allegedly originated from the Philippines. Observations of the species occurring in the wild in the Philippines in the northern provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental on the island of Mindanao confirmed this."
